Damien Hirst H10 • The Empresses, by LJCal on Feb 9, 2024 20:38:38 GMT 1, OK well you’re so clearly enlightened, my apologies. TBF I couldn’t give a fuck if she’s Buddha reincarnate, she’s full of shit like most lefty academic ideologues. Which includes a good amount of the art and artists you follow and collect and as far as I'm aware, the whole academic field of street art and graffiti studies. As the core values and ethics in middle class liberal centrism is heavily marked by hypocrisy, then I guess you can keep on keeping on.

I buy the art because I like how it looks and it makes me money, most of the politics behind it is bollocks and I don’t buy into it at all. |

As the core values and ethics in middle class liberal centrism is heavily marked by hypocrisy, then I guess you can keep on keeping on. Just a couple thoughts. Seems to me nothing quite defines capitalism so well as the art markets so saying that everyone here and the people we collect are/should be aligned with socialism/communist ideals feels disingenuous if not hypocritical. Government led redistribution of wealth has never and will never be a reliable way to lift up society and the welfare of the masses. I think most people are all for the private philanthropy discussed in the article. Don't cry for me Argentina.

Where does it propose philanthropy? it proposes a wealth cap of €10m and an ideal maximum wealth of €1m (people living in Paris, London, Frankfurt, Geneva etc shouldn’t own their own home anymore?). I actually agree that the wealth gap is too wide but there are other ways to deal with this that don’t require governments to steal peoples‘ wealth and dish it out to win votes. The issue we have is the we don’t have true capitalism in the west it’s become crony capitalism which resembles more feudalism than anything else. There are fixes that don’t require us to adopt Marxist principles which will make a bad situation worse. Start by breaking up monopolies, heavily incentivising start ups and ruthlessly cutting out corruption in the private and public sector, and I agree education and childcare is money well spent and actually should wash its face or even create value down the line (one thing she got right). |

It’s a government led redistribution of wealth and it is absolutely a reliable way to lift up society and the welfare of the masses. Your comment surprises me.

Mackenzie Scott, ex-wife of Jeff Bezos, has been shedding billions of her divorce settlement a year, on the basis that “she is giving it back to [society] where it came from”.

Damien Hirst H10 • The Empresses, by Smokeidaeye on Feb 9, 2024 22:25:35 GMT 1, They sold on eBay. Seller has 0 feedback though...
Hopefully everything went well for the buyer. I had contacted that seller a few times asking for any supporting materials beyond the stock photo he was using for them. A picture of the boxes, a look inside the box, or anything. Crickets...
I ended up playing it safe and used the money to buy another Hirst piece.

Strange that eBay says it was sold but to me it seems the set didn’t even sell as didn’t hit reserve
Buyer with no feedback I generally don’t touch

I live in California - a state with many wealthy folks. Though most are focused on continuing to make money most are also focused on giving back. I do not see the politicians in the US as focused on solving the problems of the country right now. They seem to be the more selfish of the 2 groups.

Anyway, despite the difference in opinion, I wish you happy weekend 🌷 Thanks - love the debate. Could not agree with you more about the benefit of taxation. There is a (not always so well defined) line in my mind with taxes between "wealth redistribution" and "income redistribution". I am usually against the former and for the later. I still believe that the distribution of taxes for society benefit (in my country the US) is horribly and inefficiently done by the govt. Wealth tax and the more hard line things proposed in the article are different than the typical taxes and more like a revolution. I live in California - a state with many wealthy folks. Though most are focused on continuing to make money most are also focused on giving back. I do not see the politicians in the US as focused on solving the problems of the country right now. They seem to be the more selfish of the 2 groups. |

It doesn’t feel like you did any research on current prices before you made this post. I’d advise that you do so, or be prepared to hold onto them for a long time before you can achieve such a sum.
